Starbotton was occupied by the Symondson family in the C17, Lister
Symondson being keeper of the deer at Buckden, in 1600. In the mid C17 the
house is said to have been used by Lady Ann Clifford (d.1670) as a resting
place during her journeys from Skipton Castle to her estates in
Westmorland. The 1655 date may record a new building, possibly by Lister
Symondson, but the 1677 date could record the construction of a large
chimney stack and other embellishments. The range appears to have been
divided into cottages c1800, and restoration was undertaken c1920.
